(Music Sales America). This celebratory collection gathers the very best in music, instruction and knowledge from two previous titles, Fingerpicking Styles for Guitar and Traditional and Contemporary Guitar Fingerpicking Styles to commemorate 40 years since their original publication. Happy Traum's landmark transcriptions represent the music and art of twenty-two musicians from the mountains of Virginia, the Piedmont of North Carolina, the coal-mining country of Kentucky, as well as places as far-reaching as England, the Bahamas and Africa. Every song is presented in notation and tab, alongside biographical information about the artist, plus any hints and tips that will help you achieve a more authentic performance. The book begins with a detailed guide to fingerpicking technique, giving you all the information you need to tackle these priceless musical treasures.
Customer Reviews
Happy Traum is probably my favorite guitar instruction author. He's clear, he always starts with the basics and builds up gradually, and his books always include an interesting and appropriate repertoire. This one is no exception.In addition to learning fingerpicking guitar technique and a collection of classic songs including (but not limited to) Make Me a Pallet, John Henry, Spike Driver's Blues, Nine Pound Hammer and Sitting on Top of the World, the reader is treated to paragraph length thumbnail sketches (including photograph) of interesting and influential folk guitar players of the twentieth century, such as Mississippi John Hurt, Sam Chatmon, Pete Seeger, Doc Watson, and more. These sketches are like crumbs on the forest floor that the reader can follow to a better appreciation of folk music generally and fingerpicking in particular.The only thing that would improve this book would be an accompanying CD.
